Michele Bachmann said today she’s going to stick with her original schedule to announce her presidential plans in June — not in Iowa tomorrow.

The Minnesota congresswoman told me in a phone interview that she is a planner, and she wants to ensure an orderly process.

“We want to make sure that what we are doing is deliberate and focused. We want to be prudent and responsible in the decisions that we are making,” she said. “So we’ve got our team together, and we’re trying to lay a well-grounded plan.”

She said that’s the way she and her husband run their business and how she’s proceeded with every case she’s tried as a tax attorney. She said it’s also the way she and her husband have planned their family. “I’m not speaking of birth control,” she quickly clarified, with a laugh. “I’m just speaking of meeting the needs of our children and our family.”

Bachmann still seemed enthusiastic about her opportunities as a candidate. Asked how she sees the field in light of Mike Huckabee and Mitch Daniels staying out, she said, “I know that people have been calling our office asking me to please consider jumping in. Our Facebook has lit up. Our donations increased dramatically.”

“This endeavor, running for president of the United States, is one of most momentous decisions any American can make, as you can well imagine,” Bachmann said. “We’ve tried to bring together the best minds to come up with the best plan.”

Some of Bachmann’s Iowa supporters have pressed her to make her candidacy official during her speech tomorrow at a Polk County GOP dinner. But if she did, she’d be sandwiched between fellow Minnesotan Tim Pawlenty’s announcement on Monday and Mitt Romney’s first Iowa appearance on Friday. She may be better off waiting for some clearer airspace.
